Description

Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1995. Illustrated, octavo, pp xviii, 222, a very good copy in a dustwrapper showing the very slightest signs of use, almost as new. [The author here offers the first detailed investigation of the plight of those Greeks and Romans who, owing either to deformity or to disability, did not meet their society's exacting criteria for the ideal human form. Drawing on classical drama and poetry, historical works, medical tracts, vase painting and sculpture, mythology, and ethnography, he examines the high incidence of disability and deformity among the Greek and Roman population.]. First Edition. Cloth. As New/Very Slightly Worn.
